Thanks for comments, all. Now suppose I want the gadget to receive a "state change" notification every time the state has changed. (I don't want to have to continually poll an external site to see if something has changed; I want a callback notification.)
Is it true that: 1) There is no good way to get a "state-change" callback if I use the method where I manually store state in an external site? 2) If I use the robot to manage the state, I _will_ get a callback when a robot changes the state of any gadget?
